well, what kind of dnb u're going to make ?
youtube> tutorial
what DAW you in/ what Synth you using
Start by learning what each individual waveform sounds like. From there you can focus on the ADSR Envelope (attack decay sustain and release) and how that affects the sound. After that, you can look into filter envelopes, automations, FX chains, LFO's etc etc. It's a steep learning curve but one that you will benefit greatly from. I'm guessing right now no matter how things are explained to you, you still have trouble grasping it, and dont worry, that happened to all of us at one point.
For me, I was trying to understand it for what seemed like ages, but then it just kinda "clicked" and since then I havn't looked back. It will be like this for you too soon, just don't rush it. Watch a shit load of tutorials on youtube, and don't limit yourself to tutorials within your DAW, spread your wings and watch any tut you can find. All of them will eventually gel together and your understanding of synthesis will grow.
Use presets
NO!!!
If you do this you'll end up sounding like everyone else. Its fine when starting out but if you want to develop your own sound then its pointless.
where the fuck do i start? i have literally no idea what i'm doing and i feel like a wasteman using presets

I'm serious tho, if you're serious about making money and especially a career out of making music; listen to mainstream stuff (aka, the shit PEOPLE ARE PAYING MONEY FOR), there's probably 20 presets that make up every one of those tracks, plus some vengeance samples.
But they're making money, so fuck it, make ya bread rise my dude. Now if you're trying to be some crazy buckwild out-of-the-box progressive experimental research facility of an artist, don't expect it to be your money maker, at least not for a long motha fuckin time. And even then, you still need to be finishing songs.
